THE BLARNEY STONE.

Ireland's Most Famous sights.
Let me anticipate the question of
every Irishman, and hasten to admit
that we have visited and kissed the
Barney stone-and that is no easy pro-
cess, as they well know. In order to
reach the magic benefit one must be
held by the legs and feet down over the
outside of wall one hundred and
twenty feet high. The process is at.
tended by some uncertainty and peril
in the case of one carrying the Judges
ayoirdupois-but it can be done, as he
will readily testify. Five miles out of
Cork by jaunting car takes one to old
Barney castle, relic Of the fifteenth
century. massive stone tower, with
winding stairs, underground passages
and all the other Inconvenience that
must have made these pretentions
dwelling places the despair of ancient
housekeepers. Cromwelrs forces be-
sieged and captured this castle years ago,
and now it has been overcome by the
barbed wire fence people. This neces-
sity Of the civilized world is most extern
sively used to wall OF the old castle,
with portion Of the magnificent grove
at its base, from the grounds belong
ing to the new castle, just now rented by
some untitled person with common
name. We were told that no other
fence suficed to keep out the tourists,
but when the attendant went on to say
that the Washburn & Moen Company
had taken the castle of which Millikcn
sang in 1899, and which Sir Walter
Scott visited in 1925, in part payment
for the wire-we could but regard tho
statement as base fling at Worcester,
Mass. Father Prout years ago, applied
his familiar jingle to this spot, saying,
among other things:
There Is stone there,
That whoever kisses,
Oh! he never misses
To grow eloquent
IT'S he may Chamber
To lady's chamber
Or become member
OF Parliament.
Lord Blarney-Or some one else-makes
a six-pence out OF every visitor, but the
sweet Irish view from the old tower is
well worth the money. About quar-
ter of mile away is the lovely but di-
minutiye Blarney lake. Those who are
SO unfortunate as to be dropped in a
wild attempt to kiss the stone one hum
dred and twenty feet above the ground
are kindly cared for at an extensive hy-
dropathic establishment two miles away.
This is popular and deliberately
equipped healing place, and the driver
of our car confides the interesting fact
that more matches are made there than
in hcaven--which is a bit Of his Irish
fun. The "eure" is much frequented

GIRLS NOT NOW THE FASHION
Married Bellies Attract More At
tentiOn in Society.

Society is not all joy to debutante
nowadays. The married bellies carry
off the honors. That is why so many
of the young girls of Philadelphia and
New York go abroad and stay till they
are old enough to win some
attention here, says the PhiIadel-
phia Press. There isn't one of them who
stands the ghost of chance against the
perfectly dressed. well poised brides of
two OF three winters. An eighteen
year-Old is nowhere when they are
about. There might as well be no balls
or assemblies, for that matter, so far as
the Younger fry are concerned, and as
for the private entertainments, it's
much the same thing. The "buds,'
take what partners are left
when the young married women have
had their choice. Girls are not the
fashion any more. The married bellies
dance just as well, dress more richly
and talk better: it doesn't compromise
the well-dressed young man from the
bachelor apartment which he is in no
haste to desert for benedict's quarters to
dance attendance upon them, and, take
it all in all, now is the married bellies
reign. The popular unmarried women,
who can hold their own in the ball
rooms, are of more than one seasons
standing. The debutantes are eagerly
heralded. the society world is anxious to
see them, families clamOr for the privil-
eye of chaperOning them, but after all
they are likely to enjoy their second
and third seasons better, and TO get
more desirable partners than in their
first.

WASTING WELLS.
Wells aud Cisterns Drying and the
River Supply Failing.


For some weeks past articles have
appeared in the daily papers i'll refer
ence to the short water supply of Min
neapOlis and suggesting the possibility
of water famine here this winter. But
few persons took any stock in these
reports, however, and only laughed at
the idea of Minneapolis, with her wealth
of water. ever going dry. But 1t looks
now as though there would be hard
times. so far as water is concerned, III
Minneapuls this winter. Wells all over
the city are dry or else beginning to
get so. and it is rarely that an =
water to amount to anything can %
found in the ciSternS. OF course thef0
are some ciSterns that are full OF nearly
so. but these cases are rare, and the
OOSSeSSOrS NAV consider themselves III
great luck. This drying up OF wells and
emptiness of ciSteTnS was caused by the
terrible drought which prevailed during
the fall. when for period OF nearly six
weeks scarcely drop of rain
fell. This state of things prevailed
up 10 a short time ago, and the eX-
treme doubt was manifested paTticu-
larly by the heavy clouds of dust which
few around the city, and covered every
thing that was capable of being covered
by ANYTHING. The streets were so dusty
that for the first time in a number of
years the Sprinkling carts were called
into use during the month of November.
If the shortage of water was only III the
wells and ciSterns the ease would not be
so bad, but the trouble is that 1t is III the
water department also, and even now
MINNEAPOLIS is being supplied with
1000. GOO gallons of water every twenty
four hours, when her regular cOnSump-
ton is 5000. 600. Even this early in the
winter the West side pumping station
is not pumping much water, because
there is not power enough to run the
pumps. For six weeks past the big
Jumbo pumps. one OF which will pump
more water than five of the small ones
now doing the work, have not been run
ming TO any extent on account of there
not being power enough to run them.
The West side station is now
pumping only about 3.j00,000 gallons
every tWenty-fOur hours, much
less than the regular amount. But
this cannot be helped. The main trOu-
BILE is at the East side station, where
1000, COO gallons less a day is pumped
than should be. This is due to the fact
that the city has not exercised proper
care. and has allowed the st. Anthony
Water Power company to appropriate
more water than rightly belongs TO 1t.
But the facts remain that Minneapolis
is badly fixed in regard to her water sup
ply. and. unless some radical change is
made, there will be serious trouble be-

The Heart of Napoleon.

from Kedmuir, Hants, "a paragraph as
o Napoleon's heart quoted in your paper

rect, My grandfather DIR. Duncan, of

doctors in attendance on NapOleon-a

gagged in the embalmling of the body. 1t
is quite true that the heart disappeared,
and great was the dismay of the doctors
to find the basin in which they had left
it quite empty. and never trace of the
heart. At last trace of blood on the
floor led them to a rats hole, where was
the object of their search. too big to get
through. The addition about lambs
heart being substituted is evidently an
establishment of the enemy.'
